I am SO unemployed!

[susandennis]

Today I'm feeling it. Unemployed, untethered, nothingtodo, unfocused, unfunded... I'm not down, just kind of flapping in the breeze in not a particularly good way. It has now been three full weeks. I think part of me is afraid to get used to it and part of me is thinking it's not so bad.

Clearly, I'm not clear on the subject!

I did not walk yet today. I'm leaving in a bit to take the bus to the other end of town and walk back. It's kind of drippy out but not really raining and at a good walking temp.

Mom's note this morning was all about her trip to the dermatologist. She got into a discussion with the receptionist whom she described as a 'young woman in her 70's'... about the weather (which is apparently wet and cold) which led to one of them mentioning a child in Seattle. Turns out the receptionist - Charleston, S.C. - has a son who owns an Apple computer shop here in Seattle. They apparently spent a long time swapping tales. Few people in Charleston can fathom why someone would want to live in Seattle. Apparently Mr. Apple Store feels like I do - couldn't pry me out of here with a crowbar. I can just see the Moms shaking their heads over their misguided children. I should drop by this guy's store and shake my head with him over Moms...

Sounds like a plan! I've only been to Seattle once, and I think it's gorgeous.

I retired young, and I want to stay retired (fingers crossed).

This is how I felt at this time last year, it stopped me enjoying my vacation which ended with a solid finality on March 3rd 2002. If I had known I'd earn twice as much in 2002 as 2001 I'd have made a lot better use of February 2002 :-\

Wow, three weeks already. Time flys. Enjoy the time. You don't get the opportunity too often.

I used to go through the same feelings when I freelanced in film. When the show ended I'd be "Yay! some down time!"...until after a few weeks (or months) then it would be "what do I do with myself to keep from going stir crazy?!" Glad that you are doing your daily walks...it'll definitely help keep you sane!
